Headed to the Game

I'm excited about tonight's home game with Central Connecticut. I think it will really give us a good feeling about where the Mount is at this point and whether they are truly going to be a contender down the stretch.

The Blue Devils are a team that have traditionally given the Mount fits, but I think tonight should be another solid win for the Mounties. I'm expecting a double digit triumph somewhere in the neighborhood of 74-64. That will be my measuring stick.

Hopefully, Jeremy Goode is the player he was a week ago when he was the Choice Hotels NEC player of the Week. And hopefully, he continues to get balance from the rest of the lineup, which makes Goode and the Mount all the better.

I'm still a bit sketchy on internet service, so not sure I'll get to post a recap afterwards. But, I'll try my best and if not I'll try to have something for you all by lunch tomorrow.

The Mount FanBlog is hosted by Ryan Raffensperger a CPA in Gettysburg, PA - Raffensperger, Martin & Finkenbiner, LLC . The firm was started by his father, a Mount grad, and has served customers in SouthCentral PA and Northern Maryland for 40+ years.

The younger Raffensperger has loved the Mount as long as he can remember, which basically means 1981 - and remembers the true #GloryDays of Memorial Gym. He remembers the players from those days to the athletes who play at Knott Arena today. And if it's a #MountMayhem day, it's going to be a good day.

He holds a Syracuse University degree in broadcast journalism. He has broadcast high school, college & minor league of all sports in his past, and regularly covered high school football for his home town paper. So the blog does make a little sense.

The blog was at one point much more active, but the advent of Twitter (follow @themountfanblog) has made writing a little less important. But he hopes that the balance swings back in favor of more traditional content soon.
